    @red taxes and transparency

    I don't really agree with you that the centrist portion of the democratic party will be obliterated by an Obama presidency. As far as transparency goes, It was Obama that co-sponsored the earmark database legislation, not Hillary. In fact some have reported that Hillary is the biggest user of earmarks.

    Yes I agree that the tax code is bloated and out of control. You don't have to be rich to have the privilege of paying for an accountant. But the only candidate promising reform in that area was Ron Paul, who was doomed from the start.
